How the day works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, sunset in Curdridge is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

Wedding hog roast in Curdridge, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for farm weddings and garden weddings at home.
There is something special about a country wedding near Curdridge, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Permission for outside catering
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Power for lights in the evening
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:

- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
